how to Generate CRUD in Laravel

#laravel

Recently I was working with an CRM System where I need to contain long forms with many many fields. So, to manipulate those forms using the classic ways of creating the forms manually is a long-term process.
So, avoid this long-lasting process and to make development easy I decide to use a crud generator to generate from field easily.
For this purpose, I decide to use a widely used package which is appzcoder/crud-generator.

For that the procedure I was done
Installation:
For installation appzcoder/crud-generator i was type
composer require appzcoder/crud-generator --dev on my terminal
After that, publish its assets using the vendor:publish Artisan command.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Appzcoder\CrudGenerator\CrudGeneratorServiceProvider"

after the execute this command the package created a configuration file in
config/crudgenerator.php and some other files in resources/crud-generator.

Then I need to modifi config/crudgenerator.php file

Whay I need to modifi curdgenerator.php ?
Basically the curd generator uses the default Laravel layout but i need to update to be sited the current theme so I was modifi like bellow

.....
return [
...
'custom_template' => true,
....
];

Then i was modifi all stub crud file s I need. The stub file is located within resources/crud-generator/views/html/

Generating CRUD View:

Then I was run below command in terminal to generate the views:
php artisan crud:view users --fields="name#string; email#string; position_title#string; phone#string; image#string; parent_id#integer" --view-path="pages" --route-group=admin --form-helper=html --validations="name#required; email#required|email|unique:users,email; password#required"

This command will create the views of (Create, Read, Update, Delete) of the users table in resources/views/pages folder.

create the Users controller using the crud:
php artisan crud:controller UsersController --crud-name=users --model-name=User --view-path="pages" --route-group=admin

This command create a resource controller similar to laravel native command instead it will populate it with code ready. Everything is working fine but i decide modifi some code.
the following modifications to the below files:
The file location is: app/Http/Controllers/UsersController.php
